Jacki’s, Nika’s, Leslee’s Review of Burgers, Bean and Corn and Lime Pie

This is what we all thought of the recipes – Absolutely, clean-your-plate, delicious!!

We had the above three families trying out the recipes this week at our house.  We made a New Years Day feast out of it and all three of the recipes were very well received. (Even by all the males!)  This whole menu would make a really good summer time meal.   Starting with the burgers – I mixed the mesquite in with the ground beef and formed the patties the day before.  I offered the option of the Provolone cheese or Pepper Jack cheese and served the usual condiments with it. I cooked them on a grill pan on the stove because it was VERY cold outside (and I don’t have a BBQ grill right now:).  Everyone thought they were delicious.  The corn, black bean and red pepper salad was also very good and made an appropriate side dish for the burgers.  We followed the recipe exactly but we decided that when we make it again we would use frozen corn as most of us prefer that to canned.    For dessert we had the Key Lime Pie and everyone agreed it was absolutely wonderful!  We just used regular limes though since that is what the store had.  It was very easy to prepare.  I really hope all of you get a chance to try out these recipes because I know you are going to love them!

I will try this out when it is a little warmer here... ;) I am excited to try this recipe as well as the steak recipe that Leslee picked too. In the spring and summer we grill out ALOT so hopefully we get lots of use out of these recipes.
